PURPOSE: An all-optical regenerator is provided to control the all-optical regenerator by an input optical signal while processing the optical signal having various functions through supplying the all-optical regenerator having the optical signal. CONSTITUTION: An all-optical regenerator includes more than one waveguides(2), a nonlinear ring resonator(1), and directional coupler(10). The waveguides contain input and output optical contacts, and the nonlinear ring resonator is connected to the waveguides. The contacts are located between the resonator and the waveguides for adjusting optical combination. Herein, the nonlinear resonator is formed by a source laser(3) operated as an optical radiator, a multi-sectional laser generating clock frequency, a mirror(9) supplied to interfaces between portions near lasers in the resonator and the lasers, phase modulators(8) supplied between the lasers and the directional couplers for synchronizing output optical signal to the clock frequency, and a control unit controlling the lasers and the phase modulator.
